A CNS (Central Nervous System) depressant can come in several different groups. Of these groups only a select few are used in an actual medicinal purpose. One of those are Xanax.These are in a class of drugs called benzodiazephines. This precription is also HIGHLY abused, however when used in the correct fashion this could be used to treat anxiety, stress, and panic attacks. According to http://www.oxyabusekills.com/xanax.html , Xanax has only been approved by the FDA (food and drug administration) for up to 8 weeks of use.
A CNS stimulant cause increased energy and a state of euphoria. One prime example of a stimulant is anphetamines. This could be in the form of a diet supplement, for the treatment of narcolepsy, or even ADHD( attention defecit hyperactivity disorder). Crack, cocainem, and ecstasy also fall into the class of cns stimulants. One very sad fact about the addiction to this, is that more often than not, if a pregnant mother gives birth to a child, and abuses such drugs a crack or cocaine, the baby will go through the same withdrawl symptoms as a grown adult will. For that matter, even coffee which is legal in all forms, when used to much could be concidered a stimulant.
